The ceasefire went into
effect at 9:00 PM Wednesday, 21 November. Israel made certain concessions. The
most damaging was acceding to Egypt’s role as truce monitor and arbitrator
between itself and Hamas.

Just before the ceasefire
went into effect, terrorists fired a barrage of 40 rockets at the area,
targeting Ashdod, Ashkelon and Be’er Sheva among other cities. 20 rockets were
fired from Gaza into southern Israel in three hours since the ceasefire went
into effect:

At 9:21 three rockets
were fired into Ashkelon and Sderot.

At 9:38 three more landed in
Sha'ar Ha'Negev.

At 10:01 sirens were heard in
Kiryat Malachi and Ashdod.

At 10:08 a rocket landed in
Ashdod.

Let us be totally
honest: This is not a ceasefire - it is SURRENDER! Israel raised the white flag
and surrendered. It gave up and decided to stop fighting.

Hamas, on the other
hand, signed some silly piece of paper given to them by Hillary Clinton, which
they never had any intention of reading nor fulfilling. (*Hudna is an Arabic term - “clam” - meaning a temporary truce, which
Muslims make with intention to violate, as did the prophet Mohamed!)

Hamas Provoking Israel
in order to Break Hudna at any Time

Several hundred Palestinians had
mobbed the Gaza border fence. When they attempted to breach it, a soldier first
fired warning shots in the air, then at the lower limbs of the trespassers - a
Palestinian youth was shot dead and nine were injured by gunfire.

The cease fire was
supposed to go into effect at 9 pm local time, but the rockets were still
flying in record numbers out of Gaza. The reality is that Hamas does not want
to end the fighting and will no doubt use any opportunity to begin the barrage
again.

1) How much pressure did
Hillary Clinton, representing President Barack Obama, put on Netanyahu to
accept this cease-fire without having brought Hamas’ fire power to an end, and
what will that mean for Israel’s ability to act in its own national security
interests in the future?

2)Should rocket fire from Gaza resume, will
Israel’s government allow the new assault to go unanswered?

According to the
agreement powered together between Clinton and Morsi, any renewed rocket fire
from Gaza will break the agreement, freeing Israel to respond. But will world
opinion and continued US pressure trump the details?

Hamas Prayer for Peace

A reporter from the Hamas “Al
Aqsa” television station rejoiced in the attack and announced that the Arab
world awaits further news of “Zionist casualties.” “God willing we will soon
see black body bags,” he said. “I pray to Allah the exalted that we will see
black body bags in a short while.”

Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak

It is hard to change
preconceived ideas of many Jews - which they formed after being exposed for a
long period of time to anti-Israel propaganda and under the constant threat of
terror and relentless discrimination by enemies and ‘friends’. Those views are
predominately shaped by PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)and the Stockholm syndrome!

MK Yariv Levin (Likud), chairman of
the Knesset’s House Committee, told ArutzSheva on Wednesday that he has a bill that calls to apply
Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria that is ready to be submitted for Knesset approval. Levin said that if
the PA goes ahead with its statehood bid at the United Nations, he will submit
his bill for approval immediately after January’s election. "Regardless of
the Palestinian move we should have applied sovereignty long ago," said
Levin, "but the unilateral move by the Palestinians is a good time to do
so.”

Iran has made a significant advancement in
its nuclear program with the completion of its underground uranium enrichment
facility near the holy city of Qom. The International Atomic Energy Agency
report stated Iran has now installed all of the nearly
2,800 centrifuges it will use to enrich uranium at the Fordow
plant. The IAEA also says Iran has increased its stockpile of both 5%
and 20% enriched uranium, which can more readily be converted to a weapons
grade level.

The
murder of ShaimaAlawadi, a
Muslim woman in California, was trumpeted worldwide as an “anti-Muslim hate
crime.” Now it turns out that it was an Islamic honour
killing committed by her husband. But rest assured that there will be no media
stampede to correct the deliberate lie. For the Islamic supremacists and their
useful idiots in the media, this poor woman has served her purpose.

Israel, armed with precise intelligence and newly
developed munitions, has carried out hundreds of surgical airstrikes in a
campaign meant to hit militants hard while avoiding civilian casualties. Other
technological means used to avoid collateral damage include specially designed
munitions with smaller blowback, a system of sending text messages and
automated phone calls to warn residents to vacate areas ahead of strikes and
stun explosives that are deployed to create large explosive sounds - to scare
off civilians before the real payload is deployed against militants.

Hamas is Undermining PA’s UN
Bid

PA
President MahmoudAbbas,
whose forces were chased out of Gaza by Hamas in 2007 told journalists that "Everything that is
happening is in order to block our endeavors (diplomatic upgrade) to reach the
United Nations". (Hamas
had intensified rocket attacks at Israel, using long range missiles - provoking Israel’s retaliation. So, who is undermining Abbas? Hamas rejects any legal
agreement with Israel as it would give recognition to the
Jewish state, but Hamas’ goal is the destruction of Israel!)

The
Israeli Foreign Ministry has told its ambassadors to explain that the PA’s plan
to ask for United Nations recognition is a violation of the Oslo Accords and
may cause Israel to officially announce that it is “canceling them
partially or completely.” The agreement commits the PA to negotiate with Israel for the establishment of an independent PA entity. (Why wait - cancel the dead agreement now!)

The new Syrian National Coalition was announced less than two weeks ago
amid much fanfare in Doha - almost immediatelyrecognisedby the Gulf states, Turkey and
France. It was snubbed by Islamist groups including the two
most important, the al-Nusra Front and Liwa al-Tawhid. The Islamist rebel groups
announced their aim to make Syria an Islamist state! (The
fakery of Middle Eastern politics is exposed again. Time to face the truth
that, step by step, they are building the Islamic Caliphate - it’s coming to
your neighbourhood! What are you doing in order to prevent it? One can start
with supporting Israel in its fight against our common enemy.)

Case
of Israeli Arab Made a Legal Break Through

The
Jerusalem District Court, in a landmark decision 10 years in the making, ruled
that the PA can be sued in an Israeli court for damages suffered by an Israeli
Arab tortured and kidnapped by their security forces on suspicion of spying for
Israel. The case will not only enable Arab victims of PA
intimidation to find justice, but will allow terror victims to sue the PA for
compensation. (Why was the suffering of Jews not
compelling enough and ignored by the Israeli self-hating, left-infested legal
system for so long?)

Gaza
Residents are Urged to Leave

Israel
has been dropping leaflets on the Gaza Strip, urging residents to leave their
homes immediately if they want to stay safe. The flyers, dropped on Tuesday,
urged residents in northern Gaza to use specific routes when leaving their homes: "For your own
safety, you are requested to evacuate your houses right away and to move
towards GazaCity through Cairo
Road, Arab League Road..."
(The safest destination for terror infested
anti-Israel people is the Sinai!)

Both
the Kerem Shalom and Erez
crossings are open now to enable goods to pass through to Gaza, as well as allow foreign diplomats and patients
with medical conditions to enter Israel. (Does the US provide medical supplies to Taliban?)

IDF
Arrested 55 Arab Terror Suspects

The
IDF arrested 55 terror suspects in Judea and Samaria last week, following a wave of violent disorder in
recent days. The arrests included organisers of riots
from Hamas, Fatah, and
Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well as members of parliament suspected of being
involved in the violence.

Quote of the Week:

"(Ban) expressed his concern (to Netanyahu) about the deteriorating
situation in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip, which includes an alarming
escalation of indiscriminate rocket fire from Gaza into Israel and the targeted
killing by Israel of a Hamas military operative in Gaza,"- the United Nations said - The
UN Security Council did not hold an emergency meeting when hundreds of rockets
were fired by terrorists from Gaza and there were ‘concerns’ when the US
performed the targeted killings of Al Quida terrorists!

In
spite of the world expectation that Egypt use influence and affiliation of Muslim Brotherhood with Hamas in order to deescalate current conflict, Egypt's
Islamist president delivered his fiercest condemnation yet of Israel's offensive in Gaza. Mohammed Morsi
spoke in a speech at a mosque after weekly Friday prayers, dramatically
stepping up his rhetoric against Israel hours after his prime minister, HeshamKandil,visited Gaza in a show of support for its Hamas rulers.

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi
has recalled the Egyptian ambassador to Israel, Atef Mohamed Salem. In a
televised statement, presidential spokesperson Yasser
Ali said that Morsi has also summoned the Israeli
ambassador in Cairo to convey Egypt's rejection of the Israeli airstrikes
in Gaza. Even before the IDF operation in Gaza began, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, the movement to which Morsi belongs, blamed Israel for escalating the situation in Gaza.

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi
described Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defence
in Gaza in as a "blatant aggression against
humanity," and he said "Egypt will not leave Gaza on its own, and what is happening is a blatant
aggression against humanity."

Earlier Egyptian prime minister, HishamQandil told reporters in Gaza, "Egypt will not hesitate to intensify its efforts and make
sacrifices to stop this aggression and achieve a lasting truce." (not peace) Egypt requested the ceasefire during the visit. However,
while Israel stopped firing during Qandil’s
visit, Hamas terrorists continued to fire rockets at Israel. (Egypt did not protest when hundreds of
Rockets from Gaza were fired at Israel, which has been terrorising
the civilian population for years!)

Morsi appears to be trying to turn the
crisis to his advantage, by depicting Egypt as the Arab world's main protector of
the Palestinians, after years under Mubarak, who was
closely tied to Israel and opposed the Hamas
militant group.
